Hi everyone,

As I mentioned in my introduction, I’ll be using this thread as my trading journal to share recaps from my live futures sessions (6am–9am PST), along with the institutional risk-first principles that have guided me through over 20 years of trading.

What to expect in this journal:

• Daily recaps of my trades, including setups, entries/exits, and lessons learned.

• Risk management focus: how I size, scale, and protect capital first.

• Evaluation prep insights: techniques for passing funded account challenges efficiently and scaling responsibly.

• Trader development: discipline, mindset, and execution under pressure.

Background:
In January 2025, my results were independently audited by BDO USA LLP, confirming more than $15.5M in lifetime verified profits. My goal here isn’t to “call trades,” but to show how consistent process and risk-first strategies work in real market conditions.

Today’s Session Recap (Example):
• Market traded: E-mini S&P 500 (ES)
• Bias: Neutral to bullish above 5200 support
• Trades:
• Short ES at 5198 → partial exits at 5190/5187 → +11 pts net
• Long ES at 5189 → scaled partial at 5195 → final exit 5197 → +8 pts net
• Net result: +19 ES points (~$950 per contract)
• Key takeaway: The short setup was strongest because it aligned

with resistance + order flow confirmation.

I’ll be updating this journal regularly and welcome feedback, questions, and discussion.

Looking forward to contributing to the community here.
